He wants to negotiate with the Taliban so all the Afghan people who are fleeing Afghanistan because they helped us can be sent back for punishment. Will any country ever trust us again if that happens. Bad enough that we neglected those people in the first place.
Incorrect.
Please could you clarify what exactly Farage is advocating re asylum seekers from Afghanistan.
As far as I can tell, Farage has stated that he would attempt to return all Afghans - he hasn't limited them to criminals. The Taliban has said it would be delighted to have people back - even those with a legitimate claim for human rights abuse. The Taliban has also said it would accept Iranians and Pakistanis for a payment.
Maybe I've got that wrong, so I'd be grateful for a well-sourced contradiction.
So, is Farage including in that all the Afghans now in the UK who helped the British while our troops were in Afghanistan and whose details have been made public in a number of data breaches?
But Mr Farage told the Mail that those who had served alongside UK and US forces in their home country would be spared deportation.
'There were brave Afghans who supported the British forces and American forces during that 20-year war, who of course, absolutely, of course, deserve recompense for the enormous risks they took,' he said.
Thousands have arrived from Afghanistan since then by small boats and, like other asylum seekers, should be processed and, if necessary, given refugee status.
Not all Afghans who have arrived since those invited worked with British Forces.
Those who did have been welcomed here and helped by local people , the younger ones attending schools here.
